Some really neat things happened this weekend. Sam Douglass, my church planting coach, from Just Coach Me came up and spent the day with me on Friday. We had some God-ordained meetings with a couple of pastors in the area to talk about their churches' involvement in supporting The Crossroads.
One of those churches wants to be involved as our major church sponsor. (Praise God!!!) We are working out the details of that relationship and how they will specifically be involved, but I am so thankful they are going to be working with us. I love their pastor and the heart he has for Jesus, and look forward to furthering our relationship with each other.
The other church is considering how they might be involved, but I think in the end they will also play a significant role in what we are doing.
After we got through visiting with the pastors, I took Sam to The Boiler Room for a couple of raspberry truffle mochas (delicious and not on the diet) and so i could pick his brain about some planting stuff.
Then we hung out at my house. Sam played the piano and I sang. Really!
Our launch team came over at 6:30 for beans and cornbread and some cowboy candy. Mmmm! Good Texas food. Sam spent a couple of hours pumping up the launch team and training them for how to do door-to-door surveys. Sam was definitely on his A-game.
Saturday, we spent some time with friends saying good-bye to an incredible friend.
Sunday, we had some great Mexican food at a friend's house and went to a neat prayer and worship time at Legacy Bible Church.
All in all, an awesome weekend.

San Antonio
LaRissa and I are in San Antonio this weekend at the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention's Church Planters' Retreat. The sessions start today at 11.
LaRissa and I had a great time last night. We ate at one of our all-time favorite restaurants, The Melting Pot. Awesome and totally romantic. We were a little bummed when we got back to the hotel, however. We planned to use the hotel's "high-speed internet" to download some back episodes of "Lost" and get caught up, but the internet was more like "molasses-speed internet" and we couldn't ever get the episodes to load.
It's great to get away with my totally hot wife. We needed some time of recharging and refreshment.
